All I Want

All I want is to be loved For someone to look into my eyes and say You're beautiful I want to be accepted For who I am Don't make me change for you I am a free spirit Do not try to tame me I am strong But I do not want to be placed into a situation that FORCES Me to be I am sensitive Please, don't throw your words around lightly They do hurt Even just as a joke I want you to stand by me Don't love me only when I am EASY to love Stand by me When I am at my worst Don't make me work to prove myself Treat me not only like I exist But as a human being Tell me that I am doing the best I can I want to hear you say That everything will be okay Even when we both know it won't Please be there To kiss away my fear And wipe away my every tear Stand by me until the day I die Never forget me That's all I want. Is that too much to ask?
